MANCHESTER, England -- For the second time in a month, Chelsea beat Manchester City and, while this 2-1 Premier League win might have offered few clues about whether they can make it a hat trick in the Champions League final on May 29, Thomas Tuchel's side have made sure they go into European club football's showpiece fixture with, at the very least, a mental edge.
After winning their FA Cup semifinal and ending City's hopes of a quadruple last month, Chelsea came from behind at the Etihad Stadium in the Manchester rain thanks to a stoppage-time goal from Marcos Alonso, which added to an earlier equalizer from Hakim Ziyech.
